On the last day of the year, friends and family gather to celebrate a fresh start, the opportunity to set new goals, embark on new adventures, and challenge ourselves to be a little bit better in the new year. January is the perfect time to challenge yourself with the venture of learning a new sport. This month is aptly named the official “Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month.”

Resorts across the country are offering special deals for beginners all month. Deer Valley Resort’s special offer falls on January 26th this year. Additionally, resorts in 22 states signed up for a special celebration today, this Friday, January 11th for the first official National Learn to Ski or Snowboard Day. The goal is to try and set a new snow sports industry record for the most beginner lessons taught in one day.

Industry research shows that the number one reason people want to learn to ski is to spend more time with friends and family. The second reason is the bucket list approach of simply “something I’ve always wanted to do.” Now’s your chance!
